Lot of folks back east say leave home most every dayA DHitting the hard old dusty trail to the California line

Well across the desert sands they rodeGGetting out out of the old dust bowlA D Think they're going to a sugar bowl here's what they find AFor the police at the port of entry say A7Your number 14,000 for the day DWell if you ain't got the do re me boys AYou ain't got the do re me

Well you better go back to beautiful Texas DOklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California's a garden of eden D7 GIt's paradise to live and see DBut believe it or not you won't find it so hot A D G A DIf you ain't got the do re me DNow if you want to buy a home or farmGThat can't do nobody harmA DTake your vacation by the mountains or the sea

But you better not swap your cow for carGBetter stay right where you areA DBetter take this little tip from meA Cause I look thru the want ads every day

And the headlines on the paper always say DWell if you ain't got the do re me boys AYou ain't got the do re me

Well you better go back to beautiful Texas DOklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, TennesseeDCalifornia's a garden of eden D7 G It's paradise for you and for me DBut believe it or not you won't find it so hot A D G A DIf you ain't got the do re me
